Asalamualaikum

| A lil something during a visit at a family friends place for the first time |
First of all Eid Mubarak to all our followers!
we pray that Allah accepts all our fasts and make us pious, Ameen!
Since its Eid and you would have noticed in our previous post about henna, we mentioned how our Eid's incomplete without putting henna!

Today we'll be sharing pictures of our henna which we did this eid and what all we did on that day!
so we start off with putting henna on our wonderful neighbors, 3 sweet sisters, Two of them wanted henna on the back of their hands and one wanted henna on her o_O
Omaimah felt awful with the henna design she did on the youngest sister(see last pic)
they actually came at 2 am in the night or to be honest we invited them at 2 am ,
they didn't mind cuz their like us ..night people... we stay up all night...made it a habit in Ramadan,
anyways so we finish putting henna on their hand at around 4 am or was it 5?

| Rachna henna cones |
so we finally got our henna done at around 11 am in the morning!
we both took shifts on putting henna on each other hands while the latter slept, but Areesha got the least sleep since she likes to take her time to put henna which ended up getting her only 2 hrs of sleep :(

What you'll need - A big pan , some cloves and some vicks (the balm that relieves headaches and stuffy nose)
- First Apply vicks with a cotton bud on top of your henna( you have to do all this while you have the dried henna paste on your hands and not after your shake of the dried part!)
- while you're doing that, heat the pan on your stove earlier and place the cloves on them.
- after its heated hover your hands (henna side facing towards the pan,obviously!) on top of the pan!
- please don't put your hand directly on the pan unless you want to burn yourselves! jk
- It should be 4 to 5 inches or higher above the pan or until you can feel the heat on your palms
- and you can remove them whenever your satisfied there's no time limit or perhaps 10 mins or less !
and voila you get a darker henna color in a jiffy!

| Done by Areesha on her own hands 9 am in the morning lol. |
So now that was done we got ready and surprisingly getting ready took us 2 hrs or shall I say our dad took his time getting ready!
We started our house hopping sessions and since we got late of out of our house we were arriving at our hosts place way out of the timings they invited us in!
pretty embarrassing you may think, But Alhamdoulillah there were guests still arriving after us!
so saved from the embarrassment and the stares we would get when we're the last one to arrive!
Oh and we noticed this Eid many girls mentioned how they grabbed a henna cone and did their henna themselves for the first time cuz no-one had the time or the money to visit the parlor and wait in line!
and to be honest their henna looked Amazing! ^_^ MashaAllah

Its like when you leave the house in the morning after searching for shoes and matching jewelry and throwing clothes here and there, and then you come back home to sight of the mess you made earlier!
yeah happens to us everyday!

| done by omaimah on a 4 year old xD |
we just clear up the clothes, didn't want them to get wrinkled and prayed Esha and crashed into our beds! and slept till 2 pm next morning missing our Fajr salah :(The best part of eid was meeting friends you haven't met for ages and also who can forget the food, Alhamdoulillah Eid is truly a blessing it makes you realize the importance of friends and family in your life!
